Laney Indroduction The CA range of amplifiers use a new power output topology. This enables a design which has all the high efficiency benefits of a class D type digital topology but without the usual draw backs of poor distortion and difficult to control EMC problems.
Laney Input Wiring The CA amplifier is factory set to +4dB input sensitivity, and internally selectable to either 0dB, +4dB or 26dB system. Setting the input sensitivity requires the removal of the top cover. If in any doubt, consult a qualified service engineer.

Laney Speakon Connector Bridge Speakon connector for connecting external speaker. The signal present at this connector is determined by the power amp mode setting (48) for this power amplifier. The Bridge speakon connector should only be used when the power amplifier mode switch (48) is set to Bridge. When in Bridge mode the signal present at the connector is derived from the input of Channel 3.
+4dB 26dB 26dB Servicing The CA series contains no user servicable parts. Warning. Dangerous voltages may remain inside the unit for a short period after the amplifier has been turned off. Do not operate with the covers removed. Refer servicing to factory or qualified service engineer.
